Krátky popis
Benjamin sees the shape of his two brothers trying to kill each
other. It's no worthy finale, but perhaps it's also no surprise.
How else had they expected this to end?Three brothers return to the
family cottage by the lake where, more than two decades earlier, a
catastrophe changed the course of their lives.Now, they are here to
scatter their mother's ashes.Benjamin, the middle son, drives the
three of them down the old gravel road to the house, through a
familiar landscape but also through time. Here they are as boys,
tanned legs and hungry eyes, children left to themselves by remote
parents, here they are as young men, estranged but bound together
by the history that defines them, their lives spent competing for
their father's favour and their mother's love in a household more
like a minefield than a home.In the intervening years, Benjamin has
grown increasingly untethered from reality, frozen in place as life
carries on around him. And between the three brothers hums a
dangerous current.What really happened that summer day when
everything was blown to pieces?The Survivors is the tale of a
family falling apart and a chronicle of a mind unravelling in the
wake of a tragedy, both a coming-of-age novel and a reckoning with
a deeply buried past. Written with singular elegance and the drive
of a suspense novel, its ending will leave you marvelling at what
the best fiction can achieve.
